Vice Chairwoman of the People’s Committee of Krong Pac district Nguyen Thi Kim Oanh said, that the wrestling competition could not be held over the past three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so this year’s competition attracted a large number of locals and visitors. Not only an entertainment activity, but the wrestling competition is also a useful sport, helping people improve their health and courage, to serve their studies and work, Oanh noted.
